Outdoor Wednesday

Welcome to my first Outdoor Wednesday, sponsored by our lovely hostess Susan at http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com Please visit her site for more lovely postings. This is a pic I took last summer along Lake Michigan. Remember, I don't have the greatest digital camera, but it was just starting to get light out, and I thought I would give it a try!
This pretty waterfall is Tahquamenon Falls. Located along Michigan's Upper Peninsula, it's a big one, and it gets it's color from the iron ore that was mined in this area. The color made it look like a big root beer float, and I kept thinking I could reach out and drink it!

Pictured Rocks lake shore located along Michigan's Upper Peninsula goes for almost 20 miles and is a colorful expanse of forest -topped rocks. This was truly a breathtaking tour, and one I would truly like to take again. It was so peaceful and the water was a turquoise color. Thanks for stopping by, Cindy

  4. Wow! Gorgeous pictures!!! You could work for the Tourism Council of Michigan!!!! I have only been to Grand Rapids in Michigan. It was gorgeous in the fall. Near all those cherry orchards and I took a cruise on the Michigan River that was breath-taking! I have heard the UP is gorgeous and your pictures sure back up that claim! :D Jewel

  9. Thanks for the lovely tour of Michigan spots. I haven't been since I was a little girl and visited a cousin in Detroit. I love your description of the falls as a root beer float. Reminds me of a Candy Land game description. Yum.
